1
Below the thunders of the Upper Deep, far, far beneath, in the abysmal sea,
2
his ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep, the Kraken sleepeth.
3
That's right, it's time to release the Kraken.
4
This is the legendary sea monster.
5
It's massive, terrifying, and hungry.
6
Thankfully, it's just a myth, right?
7
What if this behemoth of the sea actually existed?
8
How would this Leviathan live in the real world?
9
And how would this monster affect our lives?
10
This is What If, and here's what would happen, would happen if the Kraken were real.
11
It's time to dive in.
12
We're getting up close and personal with the mythical cephalopod feared by ocean dwellers and land lovers alike, the Kraken.
13
How exactly would the Kraken live in our world?
14
First, we would categorize the Kraken as a cephalopod.
15
Like the octopus, squid, and cuttlefish, the kraken would be a highly advanced and intelligent marine animal.
16
Cephalopods are soft-bodied, so they have no bones to become fossils.
17
That would explain why we haven't found any remains of a kraken.
18
But it also proposes a terrifying possibility.
19
If the kraken lived by the laws of science, it wouldn't be immortal, which means there's more than one.
20
And they're breeding.
21
baby krakens.
22
As to where this is happening, we assume it would remain in the North Atlantic Ocean.
23
That being said, the species of giant squids alive today inhabit all of the world's oceans, so we shouldn't consider ourselves to be safe yet.
24
Your first hint that you may be in the presence of a kraken is that you catch lots of fish.
25
And I mean, a lot of fish.
26
If it seems too good to be true, that's because it is.
27
The kraken is scaring the fish towards the surface.
28
And that's a harbinger of death for unwary sailors.
29
Giant squids hunt by keeping still in deep waters.
30
When a fish gets close enough to the dangling tentacles, it's pulled into the squid's grasp and is unable to escape the suction cups that line the tentacles.
31
We can assume that the kraken hunts in a similar style, but fish isn't on its menu.
32
It wants you, your crew, and your ship.
33
The kraken is described in folklore as being the size of a few small islands, and its back was 1,500 m in circumference.
34
It's also said that the kraken was able to pull massive ships completely underwater with its tentacles.
35
How strong would it have to be to pull this off?
36
Well, Archimedes' Principle states that the buoyant force of an object submerged in a fluid
37
equals the weight of the fluid that the object displaces.
38
If you take the gross tonnage of your ship, and multiply it by the density of seawater and gravity, then subtract the weight of your ship,
39
it will give you the force that the kraken needs to use to pull your ship under the water.
40
For the kraken to pull a regular-sized ship completely underwater, it would need to exert a force of just over 400,000 kg.
41
In non-mathematical terms, the Kraken is very, very strong. And you?
42
Well, I'm sorry to break this to you, but you're Kraken food.
43
It's safe to say that if at least one of these monsters dwelled beneath the ocean, anything involving sea travel would have happened very, very differently.
44
How would it affect us?
45
Well, if this monster of the deep is lurking in the Atlantic.
46
It would have changed history as we know it.
47
The Vikings wouldn't have been able to sail overseas if this sea monster was eating them.
48
Come to think of it, Christopher Columbus and his crew may have ended up in a watery grave, and never made it to the New World.
49
In fact, North America might not have been discovered at all until the invention of air travel.
50
Now, we could assume that explorers evaded the kraken on their voyage, but with the kraken being such a massive creature,
51
it would need a lot of food to sustain itself.
52
meaning it doesn't look good for anyone who likes to go in the water.
53
Thankfully, the Kraken isn't currently devastating the ocean today.
54
If it ever existed in the first place, it would have been gone long before humans made their debut.
55
The myths and legends attributed to the Kraken are more than likely encounters with their very real,
56
and arguably very terrifying, giant squid cousins.
57
But after all that, we can't write the old kraken off for sure.
58
Human beings have only searched 5% of the oceans.
59
Everything else down there is a mystery.
60
It may be a creature of myth, but we can't imagine it would be fun to be eaten by a kraken.
61
What if another real nautical creature decided to make you its dinner?
62
What if you were swallowed by a whale?
63
Well, that sounds like a story for another WHAT IF.

Primeiras impressões: Por que esse vídeo é ótimo para falar inglês
O vídeo "What If the Kraken Was Real?" é um material excepcional para praticar a fala em inglês, especialmente para quem quer melhorar a pronúncia e a fluência. Sua narrativa dinâmica, repleta de descrições vívidas e perguntas retóricas, cria um fluxo natural que imita conversações reais. Além disso, a mistura de termos técnicos (como "princípio de Arquimedes") e expressões coloquiais ("that's right", "I'm sorry to break this to you") ajuda a expandir o vocabulário de forma prática. Essa variedade torna o shadowing — técnica de imitação de fala — mais eficaz, pois treina o ouvinte a adaptar-se a diferentes ritmos e tons.
Analisando o diálogo: Frases que soam naturais e por quê
Vamos desmembrar algumas frases do vídeo para entender sua naturalidade:
- "That's right, it's time to release the Kraken.": A expressão "that's right" é usada para confirmar ou enfatizar, muito comum em conversas. A estrutura "it's time to" é simples e direta, transmitindo urgência de forma natural.
- "If it seems too good to be true, that's because it is.": Essa frase é uma construção idiomática amplamente usada no inglês. Sua repetição ("too good to be true" e "that's because it is") cria um ritmo fácil de imitar, ajudando a fixar a pronúncia de palavras como "seems" e "because".
- "Well, I'm sorry to break this to you, but you're Kraken food.": A interjeição "well" suaviza a mensagem, tornando-a mais coloquial. A expressão "I'm sorry to break this to you" é usada para dar notícias desagradáveis de forma educada, e "you're Kraken food" é uma metáfora informal que deixa a frase memorável.
Rota de prática: Como usar o shadowing para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês
Para praticar com esse vídeo, siga um loop de repetição e gravação: 1) Assista um trecho de 10-15 segundos, prestando atenção ao ritmo, intonação e pausas. 2) Repita o trecho imitando exatamente o que ouviu, usando o shadowing — fale ao mesmo tempo que o narrador, tentando igualar sua voz e entonação. 3) Grave sua própria voz e compare com o original. Observe diferenças na pronúncia de palavras como "kraken" (foco no "k" e no "en" suave) ou "behemoth" (destaque no "be" e no "moth"). 4) Repita o processo até que a sua fala fique mais próxima do original. Essa rotina ajuda a treinar a musculatura da boca para sons específicos do inglês, melhorando a clareza e a naturalidade da sua pronúncia. Lembre-se: a chave é a consistência — 10 minutos diários são mais eficazes do que uma hora semanais. Com o tempo, você notará que sua shadow speak ficará mais fluida e confiante.
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | being said · is described · have been discovered |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | haven't found · have only searched |
| Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa | immortal, which means · anyone who likes |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
